[xmlvm-users] Changing the method naming?

[Björn C. <bj...@ca...>]

That's the beauty of os. Everybody can work on what's interests them.
Hopefully someone else has interest in it amd will help me since I don't
think I can complete it on my own.

When I started thinking about this I saw that you had developed Java
api's for the iPhone but the problem that I saw was that you also had to
develop objective c counterpart for every class. This is to translate
from the name+param-type methodnames, you have to use to handle
polymorphism. Coming from JavaME I am used to keep the size of the
binary down and to double every compatibility class does not seem right.

Could this naming problem be solved? I was thinking that maybe there
could be a parameter that tells XMLVM to not add type to the method name
when calling a specified package. In the case of iPhone libraries it
would be the default package since Objective C does not have packages.
What do you think of that idea?
